This is a classic American travel poster from 1927, designed by the celebrated illustrator Adolph Treidler to promote train travel to New York City. The artwork is a dramatic and atmospheric nighttime scene featuring the Statue of Liberty, majestically illuminated against the sparkling skyline of Lower Manhattan. The poster is a brilliant example of the Art Deco style of the Roaring Twenties, using bold graphic forms, a rich color palette, and a sense of grandeur to capture the glamour and excitement of "The WONDER CITY of the WORLD."

Historical Tidbit

This poster is an artifact from the golden age of travel, a time when powerful railroad companies were the primary drivers of tourism in America. In the booming optimism of the 1920s, they commissioned top artists like Adolph Treidler to create posters that sold not just a journey, but a dream. This artwork, likely for the New York Central Railroad, captures the very essence of the Jazz Age—a modern, dazzling city of light and limitless possibility. It was created just two years before the stock market crash of 1929 would bring the Roaring Twenties to an abrupt end, making this poster a poignant symbol of an era of boundless confidence.
